[Geomoose-users] a question about ESRI-SYMBOLS

[Athanasis Nikolaos]

Hello list,
 
 
 
I added the following SYMBOL in the symbol.sym file:
 
SYMBOL

NAME 'esri_132239'

TYPE TRUETYPE

FONT esri_132

FILLED TRUE

ANTIALIAS TRUE

CHARACTER 'ï'

END

 

However, when I apply it in a style :

STYLE

SYMBOL 'esri_132239'

SIZE 16

COLOR 168 0 0

OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1

END #STYLE

then nothing appears in the screen, i do  not get any error messages, however it seems that geomoose does not know how to interpret my symbol. This symbol however works ok in FIST (it shows a fire spot) , and it is created with "Amein!". 

Does anyone have any idea why geomoose does not show my symbol? Is it a general incompatibility issue with esri symbols? 

Of course, I can create a gif or a png file that shows my fire spot and change the symbol into a PIXMAP symbol, but i believe that this is not a very good idea....

does anyone has any idea?
